Presence of Purity
Chapter Three: A lot Like Me
x . . . . x
Yusuke rubbed the back of his head, "God dammit! I said I was goin'!" His eyes met the glowing amber of Keiko's as she crossed her arms over her chest.
"I'm just saying you can't miss the first day!"
The spirit detective grumbled as he walked off in the opposite direction, the black uniform different from her brown and red uniform. Keiko had been accepted into a better high school and he was happy for her, he really was but he didn't have any intention of going to a school where she wasn't. He hated school enough as it was. He would stay for the first period or two and then head home. This way he could say he at least went without lying.
She wanted better for him, but honestly, Yusuke didn't give a shit either way.
His life consisted of fighting, appeasing Keiko, and more fighting.
That was all he needed.
Keiko waved him off, "Have a good day and STAY AT SCHOOL!"
He gave her a backwards wave and a quick snort, "Yeah, yeah - heard you the first time mom!"
He heard her screech of anger from down the block and he couldn't stop the grin that flickered over his lips.
.
Sarayashiki High School was not much different from the Junior High except there were less thugs.
Most of them dropped out after middle school.
Except for him, Kuwabara, and his usual gang of misfits.
He still heard them whisper as he walked onto the grounds, only know his hearing was better since awakening his youkai blood.
"Oh my god, it's Urameshi! Run!"
"How did he even pass the entrance exams?"
"I heard his gang has only gotten larger since middle school!"
He snorted and was seriously considering turning around when he caught a glimpse of blue in a sea of black. Eyes narrowed, Yusuke watched as a young woman walked through the front gate, looking a little lost if he were honest with himself. Her eyes were a startling blue that had one of his brows hitch up. She was dressed in the standard all black female uniforms with white lining the edges. Her dark hair was in a ponytail and she had her bag clenched tightly in her hands.
Sure she was damned pretty but that wasn't why he narrowed his eyes at her.
There was something weird about her aura.
It glowed brightly even to him.
He sniffed and his eyes zeroed in on the bag in her hands.
He cursed, "What the fuck?"
A scaly little head had popped out of her bag before she squeaked and pushed it back in.
There's a fucking youkai in that bag! he growled internally, he was about to go and snatch the bag from her when the pretty young woman, turned to meet his scowling face. He stared into those fathomless pools of blue, losing himself in their pretty color before she took off inside at a run. Yusuke blinked and scratched his head, "Well, I guess my life can never be too normal." And then he was walking back into the school, after all, now he had a mission.
.
Her name was Kagome and they were in the same class.
Kuwabara wasn't in his class.
Which was damned lucky if you asked him.
It was unlucky she was the center of attention, everyone so in awe of her naturally pretty eyes and sweet demeanor.
He never had time to approach her.
Until lunch.
She had quietly excused herself with her lunch and bag and went up to the roof of the school.
Yusuke took it as his queue to follow, so follow he did. He gave it a few minutes before bursting open the door to the roof. There was a squeak and animalistic screech. He caught the sounds of wings flapping and her frantically trying to grab whatever she was hiding. When the sun cleared from his eyes, he saw her stuffing a small dragon in her bag.
Her cheeks were flushed and she met his eyes as she snapped the bag closed, "Can I help you?" she asked quickly.
Yusuke smiled nonchalantly, "I'm sure you can!" he approached her and watched her wearily scoot back against the wall. He crouched low in front of her, his shadow overlapping her concerned features. He held out his hand and said, "Bag."
She shook her head quickly, "What for?" She held the bag tight against her chest, which was interesting. With his reputation, she should have just dropped it.
He remained smiling despite the weird occurrence and he spoke through clenched teeth, "Just give it to me."
Kagome shook her head more adamantly, "It's my bag."
Yusuke's eyes narrowed and he shuffled a little bit closer. He hated to intimidate a chick but he'd do it. There was a dragon in the bag and he was sure of it. Voice low, hands coming up to the building and on either side of her pretty face, he caged her in. "Give me the damn bag or we're going to have some problems." Instead of fear, her cheeks blossomed with a rosy blush and her scent spiked enticingly. His nostrils flared and he arched a brow, internally thinking with surprise, Well, well! This little cutie likes a little roughness!
There was silence for several long moments while Yusuke tried to shake away the scent and the girl tried to find her voice.
It happened all at once.
The bag in her arms wiggled, she stiffened, the dragon - ha! He was right! - stuck out it's head, and whoosh there was fire being spat in his face.
Yusuke backed up, landing flat on his ass, and Kagome squeaked. Thankfully, it was a very small dragon so the fire that would have melted the skin off his bones was really only a light heat that singed his face, "Hiro!" she yelled out as a scaly black dragon jumped from the bag and put itself between her and Yusuke. It was small, a little bigger then a few month old kitten, with a serpent like neck. It's eyes were a startling yellow with slit pupils and on his back were wings that he had flared outward for intimidation.
Yusuke was going to kick the damn thing if it didn't stop hissing.
Kagome look horrified between the two and reached down to grab the dragon but Yusuke's voice was petulant in his anger, "You better have a permit for that damn thing."
Her voice came out soft and confused, "A permit?"
The spirit detective narrowed his eyes at her, "How did you get it without a permit? Black market purchase?"
"Wait - what? What are you talking about?"
Arms crossed over his chest, Yusuke was about fed up, "Look, Higurashi, to own a dragon in the ningenkai you have to have a S Class permit. Not that I give a damn either way but the toddler will have a fit if I don't at least ask."
Kagome gathered the little dragon in her arms, her eyes shifting around ,"I don't - I mean - I have no clue what you're talking about!" And then she stood up and bolted. As she ran away, Yusuke took note of her scent and committed it to memory. He wasn't about to chase her ass down at a dead run. He'd catch up to her later. Laying on the roof of the school, closing his eyes, Yusuke grumbled, "What a weird ass girl." A smirk quirked his lips after a few minutes of soaking up the sun, "But damn does she smell and look good."
.
He tracked her to a shrine which was interesting.
What sucked were the stairs and he was having flashbacks of Genkai's temple.
As he was approaching the top, he heard her voice.
She was yelling, loudly.
" - a permit! You didn't tell me I needed a permit! And that there were people who would be asking me for one!"
"B-but Kagome! I'll get you one and I honestly didn't think that anyone actually kept up with that crap!" Another voice whined back, this time male.
"And he was talking about the human world and I played stupid! Can't exactly say, 'Yeah, I got the dragon from a friend that's WANTED by the Rekai!' and expect to go free. You need to get your fluffy butt back to the makai! Now!"
At that point Yusuke had to see what was going on. When his foot touched the top of the shrine, he caught a glimpse of auburn hair and he felt youki stifling his senses. It made his blood boil and sing in his veins. His gaze turned toward the owner of the youki and there was Kagome standing with what had to be a kitsune. The tail was a dead giveaway and Yusuke couldn't stop the smirk that curled his lips when the kitsune and the girl turned to look at him.
"And to think, I wasn't going to school today!" When his gaze connected with turquoise, Yusuke scowled. He remembered seeing the face on the WANTED list on the Rekai message boards. For the last four months, the youkai had been hopping the barrier though no one knew how or where he was going. The kitsune turned his own scowl on Yusuke and crossed his arms.
"It would be a spirit detective." Light blue fire ignited in the palms of the kitsune and the girl stiffened.
Her voice was soft, "Shippo, just run, I'll take care of this."
The kitsune, Shippo, narrowed his gaze at Yusuke and shook his head, "Not a chance; they'll take you in for having Hiro."
Kagome shook her head, placing a placating palm on his tense bicep, "It won't be too bad though."
His long auburn hair flowed around him as his youki began to flow off him. He pulled away from Kagome and then he was moving. Yusuke grinned, he loved a good brawl, and waited for the kitsune to land his strike.
.
"Sir! There is immense spiritual pressure coming from a Shrine in Tokyo! It appears to be Yusuke, sir!"
Koenma turned toward the ogre and pulled up Yusuke on the screen in front of him and he suckled his pacifier angrily, "Dammit! What is he doing?" his eyes took in the scene as fire erupted where Yusuke has been standing. His eyes were wide, "He's engaging that kitsune that's been barrier hopping! Summon the closest team members and get them to Yusuke's location."
So concentrated on the battle, Koenma missed the young girl standing at the sidelines.
.
The reiki that powered Yusuke's punch connected the with face of the kitsune.
But the flames that licked Yusuke's skin burned like hell.
The kitsune was fast, almost as fast as Hiei, but not quite. And he was strong to boot.
Kagome had been quietly tense from the sidelines and he had to wonder why she wasn't screaming.
It was only the appearance of Hiei that had the girl crying out for the youkai.
Hiei surprised Yusuke when his sword blocked a firey whip from grabbing his leg.
"Hey, man! Who called you?"
The apparition in all black, turned his bored crimson eyes to him and murmured, "The child did. Said you were fighting someone from the wanted list. I'm here to help bring him in."
Shippo jumped back just as Hiei moved forward, his sword slashing. Yusuke was there too, his fists quick and the kitsune was having trouble keeping both the toushin and apparition at bay. Hiei's sword connected and slashed the youkai across the chest. Blood flew from the wound. Yusuke had almost forgot about Kagome until he heard her scream. There was a flare of power from where she was standing that caused his hair to stand on end. Hiei and Yusuke stopped their assault and turned to the girl who had silver encasing her eyes while the kitsune grabbed his chest.
Hiei's wide eyes told Yusuke there was something wrong, "Detective - I suggest we move."
Although her power felt off, Yusuke's eyes furrowed, "Why? We can take her - she doesn't seem like -"
Hiei interrupted him by grabbing his arm and throwing him across the shrine grounds just as her power erupted toward them, leaving a large fissure in the ground. Yusuke felt a burning sensation on his arm from where he hadn't been thrown fast enough and the power clipped his arm. He looked at it and the wound looked probably as bad it was feeling. The skin was burned almost down to the bone and Yusuke clenched his jaw to keep from yelling because holy hell did it hurt worse then anything he had ever felt.
He heard Hiei yelling over the sound of her power cackling around them, "She's a miko!"
Another wave of power and Yusuke wasn't stupid enough to stay in the same place.
He moved and wondered how they were going to stop her from killing them when he caught sight of crimson hair from the top of the steps. His foxy friend had a small hollow bamboo stalk to his lips. His cheeks were puffed out and Yusuke saw something dart to the woman. It hit her neck and she barely flinched as another wave of power began to build. The effect was instantaneous. The power died abruptly and soon she dropped to the ground like lead. Shippo called out her name and stood, slipping in his own blood, "Kagome!"
The wound must have been deep because there was blood everywhere.
The little dragon he had seen earlier, that started this entire thing, swooped down and stood in front of Kagome hissing the entire time.
Yusuke scowled as Kurama approached him and grinned, emeral eyes curious, "You have had a busy day."
His arm stinging in pain the toushin could only grumble in return.
.
Koenma had a cow when they stumbled through a portal Botan had made them.
With Shippo and Yusuke bleeding and Kagome passed out, he was having a mini heart attack.
When Kagome was placed on the ground in front of him, Koenma's eyes were wide, "Is that who I think it is?" he whispered, voice cutting but terrified.
Yusuke shrugged, wincing, "Her name's Kagome Higurashi - she had a dragon in her bag. I followed her home and she knew this asshole." He pointed to Shippo who was barely clinging to consciousness.
Koenma went on a rant that was long and drawn out and completely unnecessary - didn't he see the hole in Yusuke's arm?
All he caught was powerful and how he was in so much trouble.
And then door to the room blasted open and a youkai he didn't know entered.
But Yusuke had to shudder because the power rolling off this mother fucker was obscene.
He walked by them in silence and approached Koenma, his long silver hair swishing behind him, "You have something of mine."
Koenma actually bowed and stuttered, "Y-yes! S-sorry about that, Se-Sesshoumaru-sama!"
The youkai turned his gaze to his classmate and grabbed her in his arms and Yusuke couldn't stop the loud, "What the fuck?" that fell from his lips. Who the hell was the youkai and why was he taking Kagome? Though the pain in his arm was damn near blinding, Yusuke found it in him to stand straight and curl his lips over his teeth, "What the hell do you want with Kagome?"
The youkai turned glowing golden orbs toward him, his face a mask of indifference, the markings standing out against the paleness of his skin, "I have come to retrieve the miko, for she is mine to take care of." His eyes darted to the bleeding kitsune on the floor and that mask crumbled into a scowl, "He can find himself out of his own mess."
Shippo's tired face scrunched into a pout, "Ahhh but Sesshoumaruuuuuuuu~! I'm injured and Kagome won't be too happy if you leave me!"
Sesshoumaru looked down at the bundle in his arms, the small dragon curled on her stomach, and seemed to weigh his options before turning to Koenma, "The brat comes too."
The demi-ruler nodded his head and squeaked, "Y-yes, of course!"
Yusuke cracked his knuckles and was taking a step forward - because what the fuck was happening - when Kurama step forward and grabbed his uninjured arm and shook his head, he seemed paler then normal and Yusuke found his curiosity piqued. Sesshoumaru began to walk away, the kitsune barely holding himself up as he followed when the pale haired youkai turned toward the two, nostrils flaring. A small grin curled his lips, cruelty flashing in those indifferent golden orbs, "Ah, Youko - I was wondering where you have been hiding. Another time, when I do not have these nuisances, you have something that needs to be returned."
And although the kitsune inside was growling angrily, Kurama outwardly nodded his head and watched as the trio left the room.
When they were far enough, Yusuke burst out, "What the flying fuck just happened?"
And Koenma explained and Yusuke shook his head in anger.
.
.
Kagome didn't go to school for two fucking weeks and Yusuke knew this because he was there every day waiting for her.
People whispered about his shocking attendance and her lack of attendance.
Honestly, he was fed up with waiting and was on the verge of skipping school (he was actually walking out the front gates) when he saw her across the street.
She wasn't in her uniform. She was wearing a pretty cream colored sun dress with a light blue ribbon around the middle section and a large sun-hat. She was wearing a pair of sunglasses but he somehow knew she was staring at him. He scowled and stalked toward her. She waited patiently and a quick smile curled her pretty pink lips. It made him almost stumble but he managed to get a hold of himself just in time.
When he reached her, his scowl deepened while her smile widened, "Where you have you been?"
She clasped her hands in front of her and her smile fell for just a second, "Well... the Makai mostly. Sesshoumaru was very disappointed in me for what happened." She took off her sunglasses and he was once again caught by the lovely blue of her eyes. "Long story short... training was a bitch."
He found himself choking back a laugh at her pout and put off expression, "You always gone so long?"
She shrugged her shoulders, "The Rekai has spirit detectives... the Makai has me and a few others. But we're not immune to punishment from the Rekai unless Sesshoumaru flexes his muscles. I honestly didn't know Hiro needed a permit, I'm new to all this."
Yusuke crossed his arms and grinned, "So the kitsune? Is he really wanted?"
At this point Kagome rolled her eyes, "Yes, definitely wanted. He barrier hops all the time. The problem is that he shouldn't be doing it on his own. Protocol is to have a ferry girl open a barrier but they're always so busy." The bell for school rang and Kagome's eyes flickered over to the entrance. "You going?"
He looked down at her, "Nah, I'd only been going to catch you and ask some questions."
A pretty red blush blossomed on her cheeks and crept down her neck. Yusuke was loathe to admit it but he really wanted to see how far that blush went down, "Well what kind of questions? Maybe we can grab a bit to eat while you ask? I know this great restaurant in the Makai!"
Yusuke arched a brow, "There are restaurants?"
Kagome's eyes sparkled as she grabbed his arm and began to drag him off, "Oh, Yusuke! What have you been doing every time you go to the Makai?"
The toushin shrugged as he allowed himself to be dragged, "Mostly fighting and training."
"Well, I'm gonna show you all the great stuff there!"
And that was how the toushin and the miko became friends and how a miko (of all things) showed a youkai the wonders of the Makai.
.
.
Months came and went and Yusuke and Kagome were growing closer.
It was something that everyone but the two could see.
Yeah, Yusuke flirted with her up and down but he flirted with anyone that was cute enough and his friend.
Hell, he flirted with Kurama until the kitsune turned the tables on him and made a real pass at him that left him sputtering.
It didn't become a problem, not really, until it infringed on Keiko's time and she made it very well known the first time she really got to meet Kagome.
Sure, she had heard of the pretty miko that monitored the makai with her own little group of people, heard how she took Yusuke on adventures between missions through out the Makai (which she understood, honestly, he was a youkai himself), even heard that she was powerful enough to take him on head to head.
But she wouldn't begrudge him a friend even if it was a girl.
.
When Keiko met Kagome, it was in a mildly neutral spot.
Genkai's temple.
Keiko was going to visit Yukina because Yusuke was training. By training, he meant trading punches with Kagome but he didn't think much of it. He really should have because he was supposed to take Keiko on a date but she understood that training was important. She thought he might head to the Makai or somewhere else where he could battle it out. She didn't realize he meant Genkai's temple and if she did, then she would have gone with him just to spend time with him.
Imagine her surprise when she heard him yell, "Goddammit you bitch! That hurt!"
And then a responding feminine voice, "A: Don't call me that! B: You deserved it! C: Come over here and I'll fix it if you promise to play nice!"
Followed by, "I always play nice."
Her stomach dropped at the obvious innuendo and she marched toward where she heard Yusuke and the other girl. When she made it to the training grounds, she had to smother a gasp at the woman that sat on her knees next to a cross-legged Yusuke. The woman had dark hair, long and braided down her back, and startling blue eyes. Her body was lithe and toned, tanned and pretty. She knew this because she was wearing little more then a yellow sports bra and black tight, bicycle shorts. No shoes were on her pretty, dainty feet. Despite the toned muscles, the girl was overall small and dainty. The light sheen of sweat on her skin and streaks of blood and dirt did not take away from her beauty.
Yusuke was in similar state, wearing only his jeans and right now the girls hands were glowing on his chest. His skin was a dark black, flaking and burned and she fought not to run toward him. Yusuke squirmed under the pulsating power of the girls fingers. He was leaning back on his hands, head tilted up at the sky while she healed him.
"Yusuke, you never play nice." The girl snorted as she pulled away.
He grabbed her hand and sat up, "Maybe you don't play the right games."
And Keiko had, had enough, "Yusuke! So is this what you meant by training?"
Yusuke turned and looked over at Keiko, a grin curling his lips, "Hey, Keiko!"
He clearly didn't understand the warning signs.
Kagome caught them pretty damn quickly though. She knew there was a girlfriend somewhere. He had said as much once or twice so she tried to set boundaries with the toushin but he had a habit of jumping over boundaries and just doing what he wanted. She had never seen the pretty human girl and there was no denying that she was pretty but when she caught sight of her... somehow it made her more real. And even though she never did anything with Yusuke and even though she never flirted back, she still felt like she had done something wrong as she watched her stalk toward her friend.
"Don't you 'hey Keiko' me! What are you doing? You said you were training!" Her voice was borderline screeching and Yusuke was flinching back, hands in the air. "And here you are flirting with some girl!"
Kagome flinched this time and Yusuke stood, "Ah, Keiko, it's only teasing. No harm by it, honest! Hell, I mess around the same way with Kurama!" Yusuke grouched back, crossing his arms.
Keiko's eyes burned angrily, "Kurama isn't a girl, Yusuke, and you don't reschedule dates to train with him."
Yusuke's eyes softened, "Keiko, seriously. Kagome got injured pretty bad on her last mission. I'm only trying to help her out before she goes back out."
But Keiko took one look at the beautiful girl and wasn't having it, especially when the girl reached out and touched his arm, "Yusuke - I'm going to go inside."
Oh. Hell. No.
Even though it was meant as a gesture to get his attention... who was this girl to act so familiarly with her boyfriend? And Keiko struck. Her hand reached out and grabbed Kagome's so fast that even the two trained fighters hadn't realized it, had not expected it. "Don't touch him." She growled, her voice a low hiss.
Yusuke's eyes furrowed as Keiko threw Kagome's hand from her, "What the hell? What are you doing?"
Maybe it was the fact he rescheduled a date. Or the fact he was flirting. Maybe it was because as Kagome stood there a picture of a warrior that she herself would never be. She didn't know what it was - but she was mad, she was jealous, and she was hurt. Yusuke had never had many female friends and the ones he did weren't fighters. They were spiritual but they stayed on the sidelines like her. But she suddenly felt threatened by this girl who stood only two inches taller then she did and could stand by Yusuke's side better then she could.
The miko looked at the other female and Keiko felt tears burn her eyes at the pity she saw there. She watched the smile curl her pretty lips upward, it was gentle and sweet and truly apologetic. "I'm sorry, I'll be going now and apologize for any hurt I may have caused you." She nodded her head at Yusuke and turned away from the two.
As she walked away, Kagome wondered why it hurt so much to do so.
.
.
Kagome distanced herself quite wholly from the group - especially Yusuke.
He had always affected her, from the day she met him.
Inuyasha had spoiled her for any other man or youkai. He had been a little rough around the edges, a little demanding and possessive and call it a teenage fantasy but she liked the bad boys with a heart of gold. Yusuke had fit her description to a 't' with his rough voice, demeanor, and his youkai nature. He just flat did it for her .
Shippo has told her to embrace her sexuality, she was a young female in her prime after all, but honestly she was a bit embarrassed at her need. Her and Inuyasha had a few experiences together before the final battle and each time, he had, had a bare grasp on his youkai nature, allowing him a roughness with her that had startled him. She was a modern girl and hadn't even batted an eye lash at it and had thrown herself into the act completely. Yusuke threw her off though. And she tried, she really did. She went on a few dates with nice youkai, not so nice ningens too, but no one made her toes curl with a smirk. And so she stepped away. It was easier that way. She wouldn't be a home wrecker, not if she could help it.
So she moved schools, stayed mostly in the Makai, and avoided Yusuke like the plague for six months. She would get over him, it had been a crush, lust if nothing else. It wasn't love.
No matter what it was - she stayed away and it really pissed off Yusuke.
To the point where he finally got so sick of it that he found her in the Makai just to make a point.
.
"Shiori, all targets eliminated." Kagome spoke into the com device at her ear.
The once small bat hanyou spoke quietly over the device, "Roger that, Kagome-sama, we will return to base camp and follow up with Sesshoumaru-sama. We leave you with clean up."
Kagome grimaced but understood. Purification was so much easier for body disposal. There were oly three bodies so she leaned down and let her power flare beneath her fingers and let the bodies turn to ash. She sighed as she took the device from her ear and fanned her neck.
Summer had come full swing and it was damn hot.
She had been pulling her hair up when she felt the sense of being watched. She flared her senses outward, eyes narrowed.
Lips curling downward, she looked around, "Come on out or you'll be really sorry." She didn't expect it to work, most youkai blatantly refused to listen and enjoyed the predator/prey routine. Imagine her surprise when none other then Yusuke Urameshi stepped out of the shadows, his dark eyes darker then normal and his normal scowl angrier. She arched a brow in his direction, crossed her arms over the plain light blue button up she wore, "What are you doing here?"
Yusuke took several steps toward her and stopped a few feet away, "Me? You're the one that disappeared without a fucking trace." he growled in return.
Kagome turned her away, ignoring the fire that ignited in her blood stream at his growl, "Yeah well, the Ningenkai can be a pain sometimes. I've been in the Makai mostly."
She heard him snort angrily, "And you moved schools! And you completely left everyone behind! No one has talked to you or seen you in months!"
The miko shrugged and stayed looking away, "You know how the job is."
His hand was there, on her chin, gripping almost painfully as he forced her to look up at him. It invoked an involuntary shudder from her as his angry orbs connected with hers, "For fucks sake, Kagome! Why did you run like that?" She watched something dangerous crawl through his eyes as his eyes flickered over her face. "Why?"
She knew Yusuke was a glutton for pain and punishment, he had to be in order to be with Keiko so when her anger curled over she allowed it to run full force and rampant. "Don't ask stupid questions!" she yelled back, her temper getting the best of her. She jerked from his grasp, her hands pushing at his chest, pushing him away. "And don't touch me, jerk!" That last push had singed his shirt, leaving black marks of her hands.
Yusuke growled as he touched his shirt, "You're such a stubborn bitch."
Kagome growled back, eyes flashing, "What have a said about calling me that?" Yusuke ignored her, stalked toward her, was reaching for her, and paused when her fist hit his cheek. He looked down at her pissed off cerulean orbs, "I said don't touch me."
And Yusuke's grin was something that caused her arousal to skyrocket, his nostrils flaring as he caught her scent, "You can't stop me. You don't even want to."
Cheeks crimson, Kagome growled.
Then the battle began.
.
Kagome could take a hit but Yusuke was loathe to actually hurt her despite the way his blood sang. It was similar to the call of battle but it definitely wasn't.
The need to dominategrabshowherwhowasincharge sang instead.
There was a tightness in his jeans he was familiar with although this was the first time it happened during a fight.
He and Keiko had been together a long time - they were intimate on regular occasions but he had never felt such raw fucking need.
Keiko was also human.
She was fragile in ways that he wasn't. Kurama had taught him all he needed to know about laying with humans because the kitsune and feared he would hurt her and regret it for the rest of his life. It had been an embarrassing conversation but it had been damn insightful and stopped him from hurting her on more then one occasion. As his fist connected with Kagome's cheek and she walked it off like it was nothing, he felt his toes curl. Instinctively he knew, Kagome could take him at his worst and walk away with little more then a few love bites. And she'd probably like it if her scent said anything to him.
Something about this girl made him burn.
He tried to ignore it.
He did. Damn it he did!
But when she went off the grid for as long as she did, it took everything in his power not to hunt her down and look how that turned out. He had hunted her down anyway!
As he side stepped a miko infused punch he wondered for the umpteenth time why he was here.
Wondered if he had done the right thing before leaving the ningenkai.
Wondered if he had ruined one of the few good things in his life for a good reason or not.
He remembered Keiko's tear streaked face and stricken look as he told her what he was doing, where he was going.
As he tried to explain instinct and need.
As he broke her heart and told her that sometimes the shit he did didn't make sense to even him.
Held her as she broke and told her that he loved her but how it couldn't work forever.
How it wasn't working. He was a dog and he knew it and he had tried for her sake but if he had been any youkai but the one he was, they probably would have been fine.
But battle sang in his blood and with that came other things. Like violence.
He felt the beginning stirrings of love for his friend and she had been his friend. Had felt desire for her on more then once occasion and shoved it away.
Kurama had tried to explain that these things couldn't be pushed aside or they got worse and he didn't listen.
And here he was.
And holy fuck was it worse. He was painfully hard as her scent swarmed around him. In all honesty, he didn't know what to do.
But then there was the opening.
He grabbed her, tripped her up, and she was falling to the ground, with him on top of her, pinning her down.
Her hands were above her head, held by one iron clad grip, he was nose to nose with her as their harsh breathing intermingled. His grip tightened as she tried to fight, he growled and she gasped. His dark eyes fluttered close as his nose fell into the hollow of her collar bone. She tried to buck him off her and he hissed a low, rough, "Fuck, Kagome. Stop it!" her hips were touching his just right and he was sure that she would feel the proof of his desire for her.
She did if her blush was any indication, her voice calm and cool, "Get off."
Her scent was filled with arousal and Yusuke was helpless to it's heady call. His eyes were still closed when he muttered a low, "Fuck no." He tried to stop his lips from parting, tried to stop his tongue but when it connected with her sweat dotted skin, he threw caution to the wind as he tasted heaven. "Holy shit, you taste better then you fucking smell." His mouth was running away with him, getting cruder as he fell into her arousal, sparking his own higher.
She shuddered beneath him as his tongue traced a path over her pulse, teeth nibbling at the skin, "Yusuke." It was partially a warning, partially a moan.
.
Kagome collapsed to the ground just as Yusuke flopped on his back beside her, their tan skin glistening in the fading light of the afternoon.
It was quiet except for ragged, harsh breathing.
Kagome had been quietly mortified by her actions and as the silence stretched she blurted, "Are you gonna tell Keiko?" Yusuke laughed abruptly and she scowled, heart racing, as she slapped his chest. "Why are you laughing? It's a legitimate question!"
They faced each other, naked and thoroughly fucked in the makai grass. He grinned at her, "You really think I would fuck you like that and still be with Keiko? Because I'm not. We broke up a month ago. It took me a month to track your ass down all over the makai."
Kagome flushed crimson and Yusuke rolled toward her, his grin turning lascivious again, "I really love the fact you blush down to your tits." He muttered, kissing her shoulder.
Kagome balked at the language and was going to yell when he rolled over her again, "What are you doing?"
Although his leer was very clear, Kagome saw something soft in those chocolate orbs.
"I told you... I was going to fuck you, you were gonna like it, and then we were doing it again." He chuckled, "This is the part where we do it again." Her eyes sparked with righteous indignation and before she could yell, he swallowed her protests with a kiss that was more tender then the ones before. When he pulled away, he murmured softly in her ear, "This time, I'm going to fuck you slowly." He pressed a kiss to her nose, "And it'll be good, promise."
And Yusuke made good on that promise.

'Gome Yuki: This fic became a monster. A MONSTER. You can find the lemon on my Ao3 under the name Kagome_Yuki_Niwa. I cannot link it on my webpage for some reason. Thank you SO much to all the reviews. I'm think either a AoT or My Hero Academia next. If it's Aot, I'll probably do a shameless ship of Reiner x Kagome or Jean x Kagome. I hope you enjoyed this installment guys! Please review!
